The 2009 Formula One World Champion Jenson Button has allegedly signed with the McLaren team to race alongside Lewis Hamilton in an all British line-up for 2010.

Following the news that Kimi Raikkonen will be taking a year out of Formula One after failing to reach a deal with the McLaren team, an announcement for the signing of Button is expected very soon.

Despite still having a year to run on his Ferrari contract, Raikkonen was replaced by the double world champion, Spain’s Fernando Alonso with the Finn driver insisting that he would only race for one of the top teams as he intends to fight for the championship.

According to Ross Brawn, reports that Button has already signed for the team are not helpful as negotiations are said to be continuing.  Button was allegedly unhappy with the offer made by the Brawn Team for the coming season, seeing it as unacceptable after winning the championship.
